2006 

2006-12-31

Glad we didn't buy tickets for main events as they were all cancelled after all - due to high winds. We had already installed ourselves in a rock(very-ish) pub and were getting wasted with some Australians when dissapointed ticket holders started filtering in with the news.

All in all a good night.

We have decided to go on through the highlands tomorrow. Met a pissed Scot who recommended we go through Glencoe. We'll see...

In Edinburgh, Scotland for Hogmanay. Much talk of it being cancelled, but weather good tonight. There was a strange German street play on in the vein of Wackey Races. The machines were quite impressive, but it was all very german!

Walked about 10 miles today, round and round the city. Quite knackered, and still a day to go!

Been feeling really low over the last couple of days. Had weird dream last night though. Dream that I had bumped into L--x somewhere and she had said that she had been thinking about me a lot. I gave her a cuddle.

There was no mention of love or any of that nonsense, but left me feeling quite contented. Weird.

Not doing well today, Merlin was enthusing about 'Mummy's new job' last night and how much she was going to be earning. Was the icing on the cake of my own sense of worthlessness.

Sometimes they barely feel like my own children : (

Very tearful today.

R----u been out of work now for about a month, after quitting her job in the mailing factory. I think she is going a bit cabin fevorous!

We went out to the pub last night and got pretty wasted. Then she started getting all hassley and when we got back to the house, she became totally hysterical. I have the scars and bruised to prove it!

I sat on the sofa and she came and sat on me. After asking her (quite calmly) about ten times to get off, I finally pushed her off. She lunged at me and started kicking and punching me.

Her friend "Animal" came back to the house with us. He must have thought we were a right pair of lunatics!

I don't feel at all happy about her at the moment.

Just been reading through some emails from long ago from F--b . Feeling extremely low now. I miss her so much still.

I wish she still loved me.

I feel so lost.

Had really bad week. O----h is getting married, and I am feeling really alone and sad for the failure of my marriage.

Keep wanting to bitch about how my wife f**ked off with my (supposed) best friend. Managed to restrict myself to a few light hearted remarks and won't see him again now until he gets back from his honeymoon in a month. Still feel torn between desperate longing to be with her again - just to hold hands, and extreme anger at the way in which she seems to have walked away scot free while I suffer every day.

Got pay the solicitor's fees. Guess this would be good time to. For every death there is a birth, and all that... Been putting it off. Don't want to get divorced.

J--k has been in a real miserable mood for a few weeks now. She is fed up with what she perceives to be, the lack of direction and purpose of her life. Essentially, she is fed up with her job, which I have to admit seems pretty dead end.

Went to U---j stag do tonight. Didn't really start for them til about 9pm! I had been out for two hours: Some mix up regarding trains and taxi's or something.

Really quite depressing. O----h got good and bladdered though. Apparently defiled his hotel room to the tune of £150! Cool : )

Bad day yesterday. Rather abrupt sounding text message from F--b :

{textmessage}please pay the solicitors.will you have the kids on Thursday night as i am meeting you to collect them a day early. thanks.{textmessage}

I replied with:

{textmessage}Sorry to put you out! I'll bring them all the way back on Sunday then. Can't have them Thursday as I have a band practice. Will free you of me solicitor-wise tomorrow. Email me the details of the cheques tonight please.{textmessage}

She didn't email me the details. But she did apologise for the abruptness of the message. Said she had had a bad day.

Now we're not attached anymore, don't see why I should have to endure her bad moods any more.

Y-----f usurped my dreams last night. As I rounded a corner he was there with a smug grin on his face. It was very much like the day at the hospital, when I rounded the bend and saw him in the lift.

Quite surprised at how much I still despise him.

Much ice today. Skidded into BMW turning out of my street. £500!

No damage at all to the other car. Most annoying.

2006-02-22

Not been too good this week. Got utterly wasted last Friday on J-----a leaving do. Crashed out at Shrewsbury station. Luckily for me J--k came and picked me up.

We've been having some problems anyway and I think I was just blowing off some steam.

T----b and I went away for the weekend. Went to Colwyn Bay in Wales.

It was nice - bit sleepy though. Had plenty of alcohol on the Saturday. Bit scary at one point though, when we went into an extremely Welsh pub when the English were quite literally thrashing the Welsh at rugby on the box.
